ANY reason why the hood sticks up? I adjusted the rubber bump stop things so the hood closes real clean-like now lol but is there any reason those things are adjustable?

is it:

because nissan wants you to have the opportunity to have your hood fly open?

because nissan wants you to catch bugs IN the engine bay?

because it looks cool?

my bet would be...

its such a small area that is surrounding it, and lots of things bolt together to make it fit... a little wiggle room is needed
